Exactly, we need to know the exact power/voltages needed by the fpga.


Well Darrin said that he used the Minimig PSU with it. I wonder if he had any problems with it?

Let us know Darrin =)

None at all.  The only reason I stopped using it was that I needed it again to run my Minimig v1.1 along-side the FPGA Arcade for testing software.

For the record, I use this PSU on my Minimig:

NEXXTECH "Universal AC/DC Adaptor"
Model:  MAC500MA
Input:  120 60Hz 12W
Output:  3, 4.5, 6, 7.5, 9 & 12v DC
Current:  500mA Max

It also has a polarity switch (make sure it is positive on the tip).  It works with the Minimig on the 4.5v or 6v setting (there is no 5v setting), but I have been advised by Mike that the FPGA Arcade should only be used on a 5v setting or the 4.5v setting using this adapter.

TheDaddy why bother with those? They are too expensive and you still need an external PSU. If you just use a normal PSU using the 5V pin, it is way cheaper.

I suppose you are right as long as people can find one.

I think the hole is the same as the one for the Minimig so  that is covered ;)

I wonder how much power does the RePlay need when it is running with the expansion board with a '060 on top of it.

Same sort of thing here.

I travel a lot on business so I'm more interested in a "portable desktop" than a light laptop (and netbooks can go to hell).  :)

For the base board 5V 1A is fine (5W).

Measurements on the prototype daughterboard show total current of about 2.1A not
including USB power to peripherals.

So, say 3-4A to be safe at 5V. Thats 15-20W.

Perfect. So are you going to leave it to the user to provide power or maybe include the power with the fpgaarcade? What does everyone think?

Is there a power adapter (like the ones for the Minimig) which satisfies those power requirements? Ebay?

I like that way best, as long as these are not too difficult to find.

I did have a picture of the qosimo in one of those airport screening bins. It actually perfectly goes into one of those, and you can't get your fingers in beside it when you go to remove it which is really frustrating when you have no belt or shoos.

The PSU looks ok, note the connector is a 2.1mm jack on the board but a 2.5mm will fit but may be slightly lose.

Please make sure you use 5V regulated supply, the 5V rail has some protection for overvoltage but it is not regulated on board.

The USB in the base board is used for re-flashing the ARM, it is not designed for connecting stuff to.
